05  Why not the others

Everything else is built for companies

None of them give your guests anything.

  Built for management companies Latchkey
When something breaks Dispatches to your maintenance team Comes to you, because you are the one who is there
Your guests get Nothing. It is an inbox tool for the operator A portal with the area, the weather, and a way to report problems
Cost $20 to $40 per listing monthly, plus setup fees Free during the beta

The other tools were built for the companies. Latchkey was built for the individuals, who are most of the market.

That is the whole difference
